Is wall lamp a must for home lighting design?
For home lighting, we have many types of lamps to choose from, and they are diverse in style. Once we enter the lighting market, we are overwhelmed by all kinds of lamps. So, is there a type of lamp that is indispensable for home lighting? You may say chandeliers and ceiling lamps. But the protagonist I want to discuss today is wall lamps.
Home lighting is generally divided into main lighting and auxiliary lighting. The so-called main lights refer to global lighting such as chandeliers, ceiling lamps, and light strips. Auxiliary lights refer to local lighting such as table lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps, and spotlights, and even decorative lighting. Regarding wall lamps, what are the advantages and disadvantages, how to choose, and how to install them, this series of questions, I will answer one by one in this article.
First, the advantages of wall lamps
1. Generally speaking, since wall lamps are local lighting and have low power, they are more energy-saving. At the same time, it is DC driven, with low power consumption (single tube 0.03-0.06 watts) and electro-optical power conversion close to 100%. The same lighting effect saves more than 80% energy than traditional light sources.
2. Wall lamps mostly use solid cold light sources and epoxy resin encapsulation. The disadvantages of filament light burning, heat deposition, and light decay are not very obvious. Therefore, its service life can reach 60,000 to 100,000 hours, which is much longer than the life of traditional light sources.
3. The installation height of wall lamps is usually low, and it is relatively convenient to clean and maintain. And it has a good decorative effect.
Second, the disadvantages of wall lamps
Second, the disadvantages of wall lamps
1. Relatively speaking, the acquisition cost of unit illumination is relatively high.
2. The heat generation is relatively large and the brightness is relatively uneven. Especially for the wall lamps at the head of the bed, which are close to the human body, the heat generated is easy to transfer to the human body.
Third, how to choose a good wall lamp
1. Look at the lampshade first. Usually, the lampshade of the wall lamp will be mostly made of glass, fabric and PVC. You can test the light to see the light transmittance of the lampshade and whether the shape and pattern of the lamp are coordinated with the home decoration style.
2. Look at the lamp bracket. The bracket of the wall lamp is mostly made of metal. This requires us to examine its corrosion resistance and whether the color and paint are beautiful and full.
3. Since the wall lamp is more decorative, the light should be soft and the wattage should be controlled within 30 watts to reduce the damage to the wall caused by the heat generated. In addition, different types of wall lamps should be selected according to the needs of installation. Finally, it should be noted that it is best to choose a wall lamp with a protective cover on the bulb to prevent ignition of wallpaper and cause danger.
4. The illumination should not be too high, which is more artistic. The lampshade should be determined according to the wall color. For white or cream-yellow walls, light green and light blue lampshades are suitable. For lake green and sky blue walls, milky white, light yellow, and tea-colored lampshades are suitable. In this way, a conspicuous wall lamp is embellished on a large area of the same base wall cloth, giving people a sense of elegance and freshness.
Fourth, what is the appropriate installation height of the wall lamp?
1. Bedside wall lamp: We recommend that the height of the bedside wall lamp should be 1.5m-1.7m from the ground and 95-400mm from the wall. Try to make it convenient. In special cases, adjust it appropriately.
2. General wall lamp: For example, wall lamps in living rooms, corridors, and dining rooms, we recommend 80cm from the work surface (such as the desktop), 2.2m-2.6m from the ground, and 10-40cm from the wall.
